[78-L] KKK records

[Malcolm Smith]

'He who forgets the past is doomed to repeat it', a quote from  
Georges Santayana, a philosophy professor at the University of  
Chicago nearly a hundred years ago (I may have it a little wrong).  
Will we never learn. It's very important that we have access to not  
only information about the KKK but an understanding of the fact that  
many people accepted it or at the very least tolerated it. This is  
equally true of Mein Kampf and what took place before and during WW2.  
There is a lot of removal of controversial material from American  
academic writing these days. Very unfortunate. Will we never learn.
